A 23-year-old man is dead after a crash in Arlington involving a car and a motorcycle Saturday night, according to police.
The man, who will be identified by the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office after next-of-kin have been notified, was the driver of the motorcycle.
Police said they were called to the 4900 block of South Cooper Street around 8:30 p.m. Saturday after receiving reports of the crash. When they arrived, they found the 23-year-old unresponsive on the roadway. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators believe the man was riding the motorcycle heading northbound along the street when he hit a 2002 Lexus IS that was trying to turn left from the southbound lanes into a parking lot. The impact threw the man from the motorcycle, according to police.
Witnesses told police the motorcycle operator was driving at a high rate of speed when he crashed, according to a news release form the police department.
Two people inside the Lexus were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries, according to the release. The investigation is ongoing.
